Why You Should Always Have a Spare Car Key
Many drivers underestimate the importance of having a spare car key—until it’s too late. Losing your only key can be expensive, time-consuming, and stressful. By having a spare key available, you can avoid the hassle of emergency locksmith services or costly dealership delays. A second key can be a lifesaver in many scenarios and provides peace of mind whether you drive alone or share your vehicle with others.
Here’s why every vehicle owner in North Wales should consider having a spare car key made:
Prevent lockouts and costly emergency services
Share your vehicle with a second driver
Save time and money if you ever lose your main key
Avoid the stress of urgent key replacement
In the event your main key is misplaced, stolen, or simply stops working, a spare key allows you to continue using your vehicle without interruption. This is especially valuable for busy families, tradespeople, or anyone who relies on their vehicle daily. At ND Auto Locksmiths, we help you avoid these headaches by delivering fast, affordable duplicate key services tailored to your car’s specific security system.
Our Spare Car Key Cutting Services Include
We know that not all keys are created equal. Modern vehicles use a variety of technologies to control access and ignition—from basic mechanical blades to smart keys with encrypted transponders. That’s why we offer a complete range of spare key services to suit any requirement or budget. Our team is trained to handle everything from older manual keys to the latest high-security fobs.
Standard Key Duplication
For vehicles that use traditional key blades without electronic components, we offer accurate duplication using high-precision mechanical key-cutting machines. These standard keys are often found in older vehicles or used as manual backup keys in newer models. Our locksmiths will assess the type of key you need duplicated and cut a precise match that operates your locks and ignition seamlessly.
Because these keys don’t require programming, they can be duplicated quickly—often within minutes. Whether you need a key for everyday use or just as a backup to keep at home, we’ll get it done professionally and affordably.
Remote and Fob Duplication
Remote keys and key fobs allow you to lock and unlock your car at the press of a button and are commonly used in most modern vehicles. Duplicating these types of keys requires both cutting the physical blade and programming the remote’s electronic functions to communicate with your car.
At ND Auto Locksmiths, we carry a wide selection of remote key shells and replacement fobs for all major vehicle brands. Our mobile units include software and diagnostic tools that allow us to program the remote to your vehicle’s central locking system. We’ll test each function to ensure your spare remote works just like the original—opening the doors, boot, and even remotely starting the engine in some cases.
Smart and Push-Start Key Duplication
Many newer cars are equipped with keyless entry and push-to-start systems that rely on encrypted smart keys. These keys do not have traditional blades and instead use proximity sensors to unlock and start the vehicle. Duplicating a smart key is a more technical process, but one that our experienced team handles with precision.
We use advanced programming tools that interface with your car’s onboard computer system to pair a new smart key securely. Our locksmiths ensure the duplicate key is fully functional and recognised by your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This includes testing for functions like remote unlocking, passive entry, boot release, and ignition start.
Transponder Chip Programming
Almost all cars manufactured after 1995 include a transponder chip in the key that communicates with the vehicle’s immobiliser system. Simply cutting a key blade isn’t enough—the transponder must also be correctly programmed or cloned to match your vehicle.
We use specialist diagnostic tools to read and write the correct transponder data into the new chip, allowing the key to start the car’s engine just like the original. Whether your spare is meant as a backup or for daily use, we’ll ensure it’s programmed with full compatibility.
Emergency Spare Key Creation
If you’ve already lost one of your car keys and are down to a single key, it’s wise to create a spare immediately. Waiting until your only key is gone can lead to much higher costs and longer delays. Our emergency key duplication service means we can come to you—often the same day—and provide a brand-new spare key that’s cut, programmed, and tested at your location.
We aim to give our customers peace of mind by ensuring that no one is left in a position where they only have one working key.
